3.9 out of 5 stars from 1.1k ratings

Political podcast with some wrestling talk.
Thank god there is a skip ahead button or this would be 0 stars. The Trump Derangement Syndrome the host and his brain washed co hosts have is ABSURD!
Shut up and talk wrestling!

He is soooo foolish. He has ruined his own show by constant political lecturing and Trump rants
I’ve been a loyal listener for three years and genuinely enjoy the show when it stays on course and focuses strictly on wrestling. But after hearing him beg last night for better reviews and a better rating I feel I have to write this.
Wade constantly drives the podcast into the ground when he strays into his far-left political rants, especially his trump hate. He speaks as if trump is a scary dictator, but wouldn’t he have shut down your podcast if that was true?
What’s most frustrating is t... more

The truth shall set you free
When I want to know who’s word to trust in the pro wrestling space, I turn to Wade Keller. The journalistic integrity with which Wade runs his site, reports, podcast discussions, and pushback when others don’t adhere to the same standard is admirable. Just imagine if this philosophy was followed by the broader media groups of the world.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

WKPWP: Interview Classic w/Ex-WWE Creative John Piermarini incl. how wrestlers assigned intro music, importance of Diva's wrestling ability

Q: How does WWE handle the insertion of new entrance music for wrestlers?

Wrestlers can propose new music, but final rights and approvals rest with the music team and Vince; top stars may have more leverage, while undercard performers typically receive what is assigned.

WKPWP: Interview Classic w/Ex-WWE Creative John Piermarini incl. how wrestlers assigned intro music, importance of Diva's wrestling ability

Q: What is the process for writing promos and how much input do wrestlers have?

Promos are drafted with a script or bullet points, but the talent often adds personal input and direction; the writer provides a framework, then tweaks are made with Vince and production before the final version is delivered to the wrestler for performance.

15 YRS AGO: Keller and McNeill talk Triple H's influence as talent scout, Cena-McMahon-Punk, WWE's writing process, women's divisions, more

Q: What do you think Triple H will imprint on WWE talent evaluation?

It's early, but we expect him to lean toward talent who can wrestle and have a broad skill set, possibly combining that with the sensibilities of mentors he respected, like Shawn Michaels, while staying mindful of the need to develop a fresh crop of stars.

15 YRS AGO: Keller and Powell discuss Vince-Cena angle on Raw, Cruiserweight Division, R-Truth, The Miz, TNA Impact, Forgotten Cliffhangers

Q: What is your view on the Cruiserweight Division's revival and potential booking leadership?

Both hosts express cautious optimism, stressing that a dedicated, well-booked division could add depth if led by someone with a strong booking mind and commitment to protecting smaller wrestlers, with names like Dean Malenko or others suggested as possible minds behind it.

10 YRS AGO FLAGSHIP: Keller & Mitchell & Bryant talk WWE Draft Developments, GM announcements, Cruiserweight Division, Seth-Ambrose finish

Q: What are the prospects for Daniel Bryan as a GM on SmackDown, and how might that role affect the show's energy?

Bryan is seen as a positive, energizing presence whose Yes-yes-yes charisma could drive SmackDown's identity, while also providing reasoned, knowledge-based booking for Cruiserweights and other talents.
